Sunday Verses

Happy Sunday! We have been walking along the river lately and we always enjoy catching glimpses of beavers hard at work in the river. The size of some of the trees that they have chewed down amaze me. They work at gnawing around the trunks so that they can then get to the branches to drag back to build their dens. The beavers seem to constantly be on the move, not giving up on the tasks in front of them. We have things in our lives that take time-- healing relationships, getting through hardships, forgiveness, change, and sometimes (often times) we want to quit in the waiting. When we persist and endure, our faith is strengthened. We rest in knowing that joy waits for us and that some day we will be made whole with Jesus. God's grace grants us endurance for this turbulent and trying life journey--keep working to hold on to hope, to love, to Jesus.
